Seeking Whale I’ve set my ship an awesome sail. In the seeking of a whale To sail the passage of my strife And throw my harpoon into life. It is the voyage of our years. Through storms and doldrums and your fears That takes you into the abyss. Through dark of night and light of bliss It is a trip we all must take. A ride upon this lonely wake A sail into the light of light The sun of day and dreams of night But hold you true the stars above. And hold the hand of one you love. Tie the riggings tight in care And hold a course that you can dare. And there some day the whale will break. Your Moby Dick, make no mistake.

We all have some obstacle, don't we, Sy? Today the whale has caught your eye... but if stars might guide us right, I'll take the challenge, stand the fight... [This message has been edited by Sunshine (02-20-2003 07:58 AM).] |

Seymour dearest heart sometimes I lose my way to the shore and seem to swim in circles for an eternity. But when I do, and of late I really do, I know that your words will shine the light that signals the way home. Thank you for this delightful gem darling one it is utterly utterly wonderful. I will try to come in more often, its just right now it is really difficult, sometimes a pain is better not shared, it simply hurts too much. But be assured that when I do find my way to shore it is your beach I’ll wash up on.  Love and warm stuff as always Mushy Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
